Do you have a white or black MacBook or a 15" MacBook Pro with the original combo drive? Or perhaps an older 4X or 6X optical drive in it that's just not fast enough anymore? How about being able to burn dual-layer discs? This replacement Super-MultiDrive is just what you're looking for!

The new OWC Mercury Super-MultiDrive is compatible with MacBook 13.3" and MacBook Pro 15" models prior to the late 2008 "Unibody" models. See the bottom of this page for the full list of compatible systems.

This is the exact same type of Super-MultiDrive that Apple uses! You can install it into your MacBook/15" MacBook Pro yourself - this drive includes detailed step by step instructions for you to accomplish the task without having to pay a dealer to install it. If you would like professional installation, OWC offers that service (for more information, please contact us for details).
